I think it encounters the error because it is running in a child process from the old generation (before restart) and the lock was removed in the parent process. Did you have to forcefully kill those same processes that said "can't get lock"? Next time can you attach with gdb and get a backtrace? Do something like this: gdb /path/to/httpd 22501 ...
